1 The LORD 3068 shewed 7200 me, and, behold, two 8147 baskets 1736 of figs 8384 were set 3259 before 6440 the temple 1964 of the LORD 3068, after 310 that Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 had carried away captive 1540 Jeconiah 3204 the son 1121 of Jehoiakim 3079 king 4428 of Judah 3063, and the princes 8269 of Judah 3063, with the carpenters 2796 and smiths 4525, from Jerusalem 3389, and had brought 935 them to Babylon 894.
2 One 259 basket 1731 had very 3966 good 2896 figs 8384, even like the figs 8384 that are first ripe 1073: and the other 259 basket 1731 had very 3966 naughty 7451 figs 8384, which could not be eaten 398, they were so bad 7455.
3 Then said 559 the LORD 3068 unto me, What seest 7200 thou, Jeremiah 3414? And I said 559, Figs 8384; the good 2896 figs 8384, very 3966 good 2896; and the evil 7451, very 3966 evil 7451, that cannot be eaten 398, they are so evil 7455.
4 Again the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559,
5 Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Like these good 2896 figs 8384, so will I acknowledge 5234 them that are carried away captive 1546 of Judah 3063, whom I have sent 7971 out of this place 4725 into the land 776 of the Chaldeans 3778 for their good 2896.
6 For I will set 7760 mine eyes 5869 upon them for good 2896, and I will bring them again 7725 to this land 776: and I will build 1129 them, and not pull them down 2040; and I will plant 5193 them, and not pluck them up 5428.
7 And I will give 5414 them an heart 3820 to know 3045 me, that I am the LORD 3068: and they shall be my people 5971, and I will be their God 430: for they shall return 7725 unto me with their whole heart 3820.
8 And as the evil 7451 figs 8384, which cannot be eaten 398, they are so evil 7455; surely thus saith 559 the LORD 3068, So will I give 5414 Zedekiah 6667 the king 4428 of Judah 3063, and his princes 8269, and the residue 7611 of Jerusalem 3389, that remain 7604 in this land 776, and them that dwell 3427 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714:
9 And I will deliver 5414 them to be removed 2189 2113 into all the kingdoms 4467 of the earth 776 for their hurt 7451, to be a reproach 2781 and a proverb 4912, a taunt 8148 and a curse 7045, in all places 4725 whither I shall drive 5080 them.
10 And I will send 7971 the sword 2719, the famine 7458, and the pestilence 1698, among them, till they be consumed 8552 from off the land 127 that I gave 5414 unto them and to their fathers 1.
